34 Weeks

How big is baby?: Little girl is the size of a pineapple this week. 19-22 inches long and about 4.9 pounds.

Total weight gain: Gained almost 2 pounds this week... oh well, I didn't gain any weight last week so I guess i Had it coming.

Maternity clothes: Running out of shirts that are long enough. Check out that bump, I think she's dropped which is making it harder to find things that cover it up. Mostly wearing skirts and long shirts these days. Best moment of the week: Last Saturday's baby shower. My mom and my sister worked so hard to make it an amazing, perfect day, and it was awesome. As soon as Abby sends me the pictures (hint hint, nudge nudge) I will do a whole post on the awesome day!

Food aversions: I really don't like chicken anymore, which is weird, cause I usually love it, but it just tastes gross to me right now and has a funky texture. I eat it, because we have to eat SOMETHING and we can't have the same thing every night.

Symptoms: Super tired. I actually slept a little better this week because Tuesday AND Friday I went to the chiropractor where he adjusted my back and hips. He said they were both so messed up that he couldn't do all the adjustments at once. I was sore after, but it felt a lot better overall. My feet and ankles are getting rather swollen these days. I feel like I'm growing myself some lovely little cankles.

Movement: Lots of hiccups still. Some days I feel like she moves all time and others she just seems to be chilling out in there. Gender: A little girl. Her name is Fynn

What I'm looking forward to: Getting her room set up all the way. Right now it's painted and we have her crib put together. We also have these amazing pink letters we had made at WordsAnywhere.com that say Fynnleigh Makayla in hot pink fancy letters, they are so cool! What I miss: My clothes! Even a lot of my maternity shirts don't fit anymore because she has dropped so low. Speaking of which, is that normal for 34 weeks? It seems early to me, but I just don't know. I also miss my body. Look at the collage below. I was looking at my "4 weeks" pic, which was the weekend we found out we were expecting. I was so tiny then... and I didn't appreciate it! Kills me to realize that. I was so concerned with how big I thought my hips were and losing a few inches... looking back I realize how much I had going for me... Drew assures me that I will get to that point again, I really hope so.

Next appointment: Tuesday afternoon.

And just for fun, here is a collage of pictures from 4, 14, 24, and 34 weeks... it's amazing how much things have changed over the weeks.
